About two months after this singular
disappearsuce, Mr.. Waugh, in the pres
eDee Of witnesses, opened the package
which had beeu intFusted to him. There
vas nothing Of great pecuniary value
therein. Among other things we're
found q Bible with the name OF "Mrs.

Nothing has been beard from Alex. by
the Cape Breton people for over six

brother. Alex. received the Bible from
his eldest sister, aA3 the tintvpe was
that of his yoanRer sister. He ha
worked on the Canadian Pacific Rail
road. and Furthermore was knswn 20
have had business transactions with q
bank In Michigan.
IL would seem then that the infer
enoes Of Malcolm Mac INLAY are correct.
Beyond q doubt John MoAuisy was the
brother Of whose whereabouts they
have for sC me months been in ienor-
anee. This belief has brouPht great
sorrow to the Cape Breton family and
they are sndeavoripR TO get all possible
